The Salzburg Easter Festival presented 'Planet [wanderer]' at the Haus für Mozart on Monday. This performance piece was created by Belgian choreographer Damien Jalet and Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa. The work features dancers moving through a mixture of water and katakuriko, a starch originally derived from Japanese dogtooth violet tubers but now typically made from potatoes. The production explores movement within this unique substance.
